Shetland pony in car boot

A woman was driving along an autobahn at Bad Oeynhau near Hannover when she was pulled over by police.

However, when police checked out her car — a Fiat Panda — they found a Shetland pony travelling in the boot. The pony was quietly sitting on a bed on straw in the hatchback of the car, much to the officers’ surprise.

“A patrol car team found a somewhat unusual horsebox,” read a police statement.

The woman reportedly told police officers she was planning to drive the pony across the border to the Czech Republic.
